Synopsis:
Based on a true story, Tod Lubitch is born with a deficient immune system (which is unlike being born with AIDS). As such, he must spend the rest of his life in a completely sterile environment. His room is completely hermetically sealed against bacteria and virus, his food is specially prepared, and his only human contact comes in the form of gloved hands. The movie follows his life into a teenager.
Reviews:
"Watched this on Betamax tape recently(yes watching Beta in 2019),and it really brought me back to the first times I've seen it back in the 90's. I love the 1976 atmosphere. John Travolta did a great job acting as the boy in the bubble. You really get a sense of his isolation. For a TV Movie, this had a few scenes they wouldn't even dare air on television today. Like the scene when he is hanging out with Gina's friends and they're smoking weed on the football field. That kinda reminded me of Dazed & Confused a little. Weird ending though.Kinda made me cry actually because it's one of those endings that makes you wonder the risks people take just for the simpler things. It felt eerie and at the sametime makes you realize we really take things for granted. John's acting in this is great."
